Offseason time! 1. This season, the offseason is 2 weeks long. With the extended offseason, what do you plan to do with the extra time? Do you have any suggestions for what I should do? What are you doing? 2. Will you be tuning in to any of the major international hockey events (WC, WJC)? If so, which one? I'm not sure, will you? 3. What do you believe is the best part of the offseason from both a player and management perspective? That's a hard questions isn't it? 4. Is there anyone you think we should have on our radar for the upcoming VHL draft? Should I be at all interested in the draft? 5. There have been a lot of GM changes in the VHL recently. Are you excited to see a lot of new faces get into management? Does it really matter? 6. What do you think is more important: Winning or an active locker room? How would you define important? Just for fun: 7. Do you prefer homemade or store bought? What is this regarding? 8. If you are still in school (or if you have already graduated) what is (was) your favourite subject and why? Why do you need to know this? 9. If you were to play any professional sport besides hockey, where would you be playing? Hasn't this been asked before? 10. Let's say for a brief moment that the VHL is considering adding 1 team in NA and 1 team in EU. Do you have any cities/team names that you think would be cool? Why only those places? Do you have something against Africa, middle East and Asia? 11. We have quite a few new faces coming up to the big league this season. How pumped are you to have the rookies coming in. What do you mean by pumped up? 12. We recently made a trade to acquire Magnus Verlander (@Jbeezy76) from the Calgary Wranglers. How excited are you to have a familiar face coming back to Helsinki? Who is this again? All this has been done for @BladeMaiden

Now, it's time to speak about what has happened for me during this off-season and honeslty it hasn't been as exciting as you'd potentially think. I have realised that i will become less active than i used too and as a result i know it'll hurt my player here overall and honestly i don't have an issue with that. Now, why is this the case? well i have realised that i can't keep active in so many leagues if i do not really have a drive too and honestly my fun with these leagues does depend on a lot being in what i'd consider the right way. At the moment i am only really enjoying one sim league but it is whatever so i don't think that it is something people should really worry about. Maybe i've just gotten to a point of being burnt out i dunno maybe i have just realised there's more to life with lockdowns easing where i live. Anyway, thank you for listening everyone and i hope you all have a good time and keep doing great! W Words: 183

#LookingForward 1. Who is the Free Agent you want Helsinki to go after, there are a lot of big names hitting the market. Why would you for that Player? Not really a player as I'm not sure who's going to free agency but I would really love a Burger. 2. Bad shit happens, we got knocked on our asses this time in the playoffs, so let's make lemonade out of lemons. What did you do with your team during the time off? Plot a revolution to install myself as the supreme leader and install a Moomin only policy. It's why we're losing the team lacks Moomins. 3. New GMs Have been hired, How do you think that affects our conference? Depends, some GMs like to tear it all down and start again. Some are just fine with the status quo. 4. What have you been working on in the off season to improve your game? Conditioning (fighting depreciation), scoring, skating??Why did you choose to focus on this? I've just been doing puck handling nothing will get those pucks off me. 5. Do you see yourself filling out a start role next season? Why or Why not... has anything changed? I mean I'm already a starter if I'm not then I guess I've been cut. Which I don't think I would be upset about. 6. How do you feel about me leaving my AGM position? Good riddance to bad rubbish? let me know. It's deeply upsetting and basically made me realise a lot about myself as we have a lot in common. As you're familiar with. #JustForFunsies 7. Who is the fourth person on your missed calls? Why did you miss the call? (were you avoiding drama..spill the tea. Probably some training course as they call after specified times and expect me to answer. 8. They say it's all about ambiance, if that is true do you pick warm lighting or bright white lighting? What are the advantages to your choice? Depends on the room, access to light and what you're trying to do. If you're wanting a more natural setting for your bedroom then a warm blub. If you're wanting it for your shower room then a white light is fine. 9. Come up with a catch phrase for a team mate and tag them "There's some weird girl talking about Hippos again" - @Jubo07 10. Give me a gif that tells me about your favorite colour without outright spelling it out. I'll try but it'll be hard. 11. How did you learn what it meant to be a professional hockey player? I think this one is way too old as I don't think there is a way to be a professional player. I remember being shunned because I'd not talk to media and stuff like that but now it's getting more acceptable. 12. What is the biggest sacrifice you have made for something or someone you love? Was it worth it? This one is hard again as I can't really think of anything. I guess taking 2 classes at the same time to help my wife (just friend at the time) finish her college work then help her apply and get the confidence she can actually do university. Now she's finished with a 2:1 which is a very good grade considering her final year hit covid too. So that + having CFS and to think that if I didn't offer help back while at college she'd potentially be not able to do those things. 13. The Titans often use the term family to describe their team, What is your place withing that family metaphorically? I'm not sure maybe the kid you keep hidden away when the posher people come around. Or they send me out to go do something.

Honestly, you could just direct people to the Haven. It is basically what you're doing.

#TheRegularSeason 1. How do you feel about your regular season stats? I feel as if they're being used against me by the capitalists within the league to determin my "worth". We must revolt against this way of thinking. It doesn't matter what my stats are as i have found a higher cause. 2. What do you think you did best in when it comes to the regular season? Leading a revolution against the capitalist in Halifax. EAT THE RICH! 3. It is almost awards season in Helsinki, what award would you like to see included his season? Socialist Moomin of the Year Award. 4. Let’s Talk VHL GM turnover now, Both Calgary and Malmo will be getting new GMs what do you think about that? I think that the people within those areas should see what i am leading in Halifax and join the revolution! Don't accept another Capitalist! 5. Do you think the new GMs will rebuild and sell off for a new start or do you think they ride it out? Look at this capitalist way of thinking. Selling someone is a not a good way of thinking! The people should decide not one person! 6. Let’s tag @frostie and @jubis with some words of appreciation for their time and commitment to their positions. They may have been our opponents but we can appreciate a good hustle, right? Neither have been up for joining my socialist utopia. #PlayoffHypeTrain 7. Playoff hockey is said to be some of the most exciting hockey you can be a part of, tell me how you feel going into the playoffs? I feel as if the wheels of revolution cannot be stopped and one day winners and losers won't matter as there will only be socialism! 8. How do you think Helsinki has done so far in the post season? Helsinki has a lot to work on. We can work towards getting better whenever in society 9. Can I get your best Helsinki cheer? History repeats itself, first as tragedy, second as farce. 10. What is our best play off Hype song? The Former Soviet Union National Anthem 11. Are you a player that gets more serious in the playoffs or are you the player that is helping to keep the team loose? Clearly, i have gotten more serious about my political career during the playoffs! 12. Is there player coming up in the draft that you think management should be looking at? The only draft i care about is the national draft into conscription of the army to help fight the capitalists. 13. What does it mean to you to be on this Titans team or if you’re a prospect to know that you will be part of the magic next season? It means that we're far away from understanding anything i talk about.

Good Morning Comrades! It is with a heavy heart i have to tell you that we Comrade Riley Couture has decided to step down as the assistant general manager of the Halifax 21sts. This is a sad day however, it has been a day of realisation for many of us in Halifax that it is time for a change. Too long has the prolitartiot been held back by the Bourgoise. We have decided that we have to stage a coup to overthrow the current reign of rory. Once we have been able to do this we are going to be declaring as The Socialist Republic of Halifax. I have been chosen as the Chairwomen to lead this revolution with GlowyGoat as my second in command who is planning to infultrate the current group to install this group! If you are reading this and want to revolt against those opressing you write below the following: Glory be to the Boat! Glory Be Halifax! Together we can install a Socialist Utopia and bring socialism to the VHL. Words: 175

I'm applying for the lolz. I ain't going to write why to choose me as i know i have 0 chance haha.

Now, we're back to the Emi makes team's vtubers series. Usually i just post the image and a little slogan. However, i'm not entirely happy with this one. So i thought i'd explain more about them via writing. Leo Watson is a detective who tries to keep the mean streets of london safe. when they're not being a detective they're supporting their local sports team London United. Leo is someone who hardly sleeps due to always been up after drinking way too much tea and only eats strawberry jam from the jar like a bear. Leo's is classed as one of the greats for the British Empire but they're constantly trying to foil the efforts of Brynhilda who's always trying to cause mischief whenever she's in town. So, yeah he's a little write up. as i go forward with these i have decided i will try to connect them all together in some small world that i'm still undecided on what the purpose of is. I think that i can have fun with making Leo being a detective to solve the case of the Phantom's or Nighthawk's eventual vtuber.

1. Would you ever get a cybernetic body part to improve your performance out on the ice? No why be pure. (I am joking obviously about purity. Gotta love that arguement in stuff) 2. Do you think there would be more or less issues between humans if we discovered aliens? Less as we'll be trying to find out how to have wars with them. 3. Do you think the VHL would let non humanoid life forms grace its hockey arenas? I mean they did in Inazuma eleven and that went well. 4. Would you ever throw a game for money? Sure, give me like £1. 5. Do you think we take enough pride in representing our teams here in the VHL? Why be proudy? That is what made mudasir be outed by Asif as his best friend. 6. Do you think Hockey would be cooler in space? I mean it would be sub zero temps i'm pretty sure. 7. What is one thing you would change about hockey to make it an Intergalactic sport? Stop Aliens kidnapping our players and making them marry a random space alien queen as they denounce humanity to play for that team. Or maybe you know pucks that have their own gravity field. 8. Fill in this blank: I do it for the ____________? (Money, fame, Glory, to see the tears of my enemies?) I do it for the Alien Ant Overlords. 9. What is the one Ace up your sleeve you always save when your team needs a miracle? Nothing to set you a part than a small anti-gravity gun. 10. Are you happy with the type of player you are becoming? Define Happiness? 11. Can insanity bring about more creativity? No. 12. If you try to fail, and succeed, which have you done? This happens alot when i play NHL 21. I try to get 1OA and end up in the playoffs. 13. At what point are we good enough? Are we ever truly good enough? What does it mean to be good?

There's also psychology today where you can put in your postcode/zip code and get a bunch back about therapy in your area. Never, feel alone and if you need help please message me

i don't fully get this. If it's due to missing out the LA team it was somethingi forgot which is hilarious as i have the perfect on. I'll add it into next weeks which will be minors teams where halifax will show.

1. I think defense is the most underrated right now honestly. I think people go more towards Offensive skills in real life. 2. Honestly, i think that would be stupidly hard to award that i don't think you could really do i wish i could. 3. Like i said i am not entirely sure maybe Patrick Laine on Helsinki 4. Same as above! 5. I don't really have a favourite holiday. I do enjoy the UK holiday of Pancake day xD but for seasons i love autumn. 6. I have done this before and honestly i'd put one in Sapporo!

For this week i went onto making a new vtuber for the Halifax 21sts! Vyse is a person who loves sailing! He has always wanted to go out sailing but thing is he's also very scared of water!

Following on from last weeks article i have decided to continue my attempts to assign every team a vtuber. I have decided that most of these will end up being hololive as it is the company i watch the most so know the most about. Calgary Wranglers I have decided to go outside hololive to find a Horse and i found a character called Gold Ship from the channel Pakatube. Apparently anyone from this channel could really go with this team as they're all horses. Chicago Phoenix is one that i find really easy to assigned really. Takanashi Kiara is a Phoenix who owns the KFP brand of food so this clearly fits as Phoenix and Phoenix together. This clearly means that she's more happy and super excited. D.C. Dragons i have decided to put Yuzuki Choco with them. I understand they're not a dragon and they're a demon. I think they're a nice design and stuff and could be faked to be a dragon xD New York Americans will be assigned Shirakami Fubuki and the reason for this is 100% for one reason... Fubuki Loves Borgars and she did an entire video talking about burgers so i thought it would be a great fit. Fubuki is my favourite Vtuber so this is a high honor for the NYA's. Seattle Bears will be assigned Kuma who is an Independent vtuber and is a bear so it fits the team. Riley made her own vtuber which would really fit this team. Toronto Legion will be assigned Yukihana Lamy and the thing is i don't fully understand what the Legion is meant to be so instead i went based on colour so i thought these would fit the best. I think it's supposed to be a bird but Legion isn't a bird so it is colour. Finally my former team the Vancouver Wolves... This one is simple they'd be Ookami Mio. She's my 2nd favourite vtuber and would do some stuff with NYA as Mio and Fubuki are good friends. I have done something similar in the PBE and so far NYA and My Expansion team Kashima Foxes would be linked! Words: 359

Brynhildr, is a fallen Valkyrie that has come back to show the world whos boss. She's a solo warrior and is representing Helsinki in E-sports.

2.) You discover a beautiful island upon which you may build your own society. You make the rules. What is the first rule you put into place? No humans allowed. I'd have to leave as as soon as Humanity gets near something beautiful we fuck it up by making shit and exploiting the natural area. 3.) You have been given the opportunity to create the half-hour TV show of your own design. What is it called and what’s the premise? The show is about the people who actually live in "Finland" it is called the Moomins in Moominvalley. The show follows the titular character Moomin Troll and their adventures throught Moominvalley... Or Look what we can do with science. Where i just start replacing people body parts with household items. 4.) Name the top five hockey related things to take with you during a zombie outbreak. (Think of things that you would have in your hockey bag, locker or at home) Nothing, you shouldn't leave your home realistically during the first month of a pandemic or anything that would cause mass histeria. Fill all sinks, Baths and anything you can with water, smash stairs if possible and live upstairs. make some sort of way down for when you can go out foraging. as for Hockey equipment... i can't name 5 but stick tape for just tape would always useful as a binding. these could be used for dealing with injuries or as a way to bind things together. Let's no go insane for the final answers. I have been playing Dead Rising recently so why not take a hockey stick and some pucks. That way you can hit the pucks towards the guy with the gun who is shooting you... it totally works on dead rising. After that let's go with something like a goalie neck guard and helmet of some kind. 6.) If Helsinki was a Hogwarts house what house would we be and why? Who Cares? Harry Potter has been ruined by it's transphobic author I don't want any association with anything made by her as she continues to try and delegitimize trans people and trying to take our rights away. 7.) When fans see hockey players they often freak out, who is one of the people you would fan boy/ fan girl / fan person over? ( For example Venus Thightrap, is a huge comic book nerd so meeting someone like Robert Kanigher and Sheldon Moldoff who created Poision Ivy would mean a lot to her. Venus’ name is meant to be a nod to Ivy.) I met moomin troll... that is the easiest person to fan girl over i mean who doesn't like them cute trolls. 8.) When was the last time you screamed at the top of your lungs during a game? What were you yelling about? Knowing me i was singing the song "We Will Become Silhouettes" by the Postal Service. 9.) When you go home and relaxing is on your mind what room do you go to and what do you do in it to wind down? (Venus is totally into long luxurious bubble baths, it has been said she often turns into a prune while playing her fav Spotify mix as she soaks the stress away of everyday life) Lay down in the bath and crank up episodes of the Moomins on youtube. 10.) Is there anything hanging in your Team Locker that motivates you? My only motivation is to get enough money to leave this world forever and go live with the moomins in moominvalley. 11.) Do you have a pet? If so tell us about your fuzzy or perhaps not so fuzzy friend lol I have a pet moomin. 12.) Which is one that show you cannot watch with anyone? Moomins.... not because i don't want too... no one will watch it with me

I have decided to assign some teams this time with Vtubers. This can be anyone from hololive or any other orginisation. There maybe no reasoning to my decisions however, i will try to give a reason behind them. First fo all lets start with my own team the Helsinki Titans. We'll be Amane Kanata from the Hololive corpration. I think this fits due to the colours and she fits due to having @BladeMaiden as our AGM who is also known as Katana Lady elsewhere. I don't watch this one so much so i am not sure what they're like for personality however i think that the colours do match Finland as a nation too. Next we move onto the Riga Reign. I have decided that this one is very close to Shishiro Botan which is a lion i am not sure if that Riga is supposed to be a lion or tiger so i thought this would fit. This is a character i've seen some things of and think they're fun. Next we're onto the Warsaw Predators. Once again i am not sure what animal this is so i've decided to make them everyone's favourite doggo Inugami Korone. Something to remember is that Predator is Human, Human is Predator, Human Is Doggo, Doggo is Human, Doggo is Korone. London United is one that is going to be more stereotypical. I have decided they'd be a detective like Watson Amelia or should i go with someone who looks regal like Hoshimachi Suisei. I think that Watson Amelia has to be the winner here due to the ties to Sherlock Holms but i think that Suisei would also be a good choice so i'll include a image of them too so please vote below if i made a bad decision. (Are ya' winnin' Watson?) Now, we're getting to Prague Phantoms. This one i had a few options bit i decided to go with the king of the Phantoms a Reaper! So they're going to be Mori Calliope! This was based on the idea of what the vtuber is supposed to be. Unless there's something i don't know about @diamond_ace ... maybe they're the reaper themself! Now the one find the easiest to do is Malmo Nighthawks. The team i'd chose is the Duck herself Oozora Subaru. She's a bird like the nighthawk but and i need to use Kiara later and as a result this is the best to go! However, i do love Subaru and she's my 4th favourite Vtuber! So maybe Malmo is my 4th favourite team? Who knows.. Now, we're getting to HC Davos Dynamo... this one is hard to chose but this will be the first Male Vtuber on the list and might be the last and that is Kanade Izuru. I think i only chose this one due to the fact they're a similar colour another one i haven't watched so don't know the personality. Finally for this confrence Moscow Menace... I have had a hard time thinking of someone for this then i found someone who was perfect.. Shirogane Noel. The reason i decided to chose this one was due to them matching the colours but also she is clearly a muscle character! She would beat you up and make sure you're not getting back up. Her design reminds me a lot of 2B from Nier Automata. Now, thanks for reading... i know only @GlowyGoat & @Riley_Couture will be interested in these.

Your VHL player in another sport? What would your next player be? What would your alternative career be?

I usually don't write as i'm not brilliant at writing. However, i had a lot of fun writing this and it gets me 4 weeks so that is me covered now for a bit.
